14th Street Place is cute on the inside, but still seems a little lofty price-wise, no?
Whattya think? 1? 1.2 tops?
I kinda like the 14th street house. Any idea how much the going rent would be for that rental unit?
In 1999, we came very close indeed to buying the house next door to 16 Willoughby. At the time it was owned by the city and a pretty motley crew of folks lived there. There was a guy on the top floor who, when he’d forgotten to take his meds, would throw open the windows and bay at the moon. There was also a woman on the ground floor turning tricks. We were frightened off and chose not to become their neighbors. The house was bought by an investor instead and is, I believe, still rented out. Back then Giuliani had vowed to take the city out of the housing business — at least when it came to these kinds of one-off properties — which indeed he did in this particular instance. I’m sure given PAC’s scant funding a historically sensitive internal renovation wasn’t possible. But I really question how it is possible for the building to become market rate in under 10 years. Surely — having received (quasi) public funding to renovate it — it should remain affordable housing and not enrich one lucky family?
Does anyone remember how the What claimed 2008 was going to be a “Fuck You Year!” I laughed my ass off with that one.

The What might be an Asshat, but so far that prediction at least is coming true.
There are Tudor Revival houses like this on Rutland I, right off Flatbush Ave. as well as on Chester Court, a cul-de-sac across Flatbush from Rutland (between Flatbush and the Brighton Line subway cut). The former street is in Lefferts Manor and the PLG Historic District–the latter is not. FWIW Chester Court WAS in the original HD proposed by the LPC in the mid-70s, but was left out of the 1979 designation. It’s a street that IMO should be included in any future extension of the historic district
Chester Court is a pretty Street, but IMO it seems closer to Flatbush Ave. than the similar houses on Rutland (even though the distance is actually about the same). OTOH, tudors on Rutland would sell for CONSIDERABLY more.
I’ve been in several of these houses on both Chester Court and Rutland Road. They seem fairly large on the inside, but I don’t understand how a three story 17 X 40 house can be 2,866 sq. ft. Still, I don’t know that you’d find a house as nice as this elsewhere in PLG for anything close to that price.

Horrible, 3:03, but unfortunately accurate.
guest 2:49 PM, that’s a horrible thing to say.
Damn Montrose, who did you piss off?…lol
